He confessed on an American Forum. And the only reason he confessed was because, like a spoilt brat having a tantrum, he felt that his ideas were not being taken seriously by the so-called big boys. So in order to gain attention he resorted to using a female pseudonym - which he milked and abused for all it was worth. Surely a sign of a person with some sort of mental disorder. And not once did he apologise to any Mayhem members for duping them so blatantly.
I still hold faith in the ingenuity and skills of the average British man. The sort of man with clever ideas and abilities to impart his knowledge freely without seeking payment or a need to feed an attention-seeking ego -- as opposed to some lying cheat with the sort of 'skills' that could have been gleaned just from watching Blue Peter many years ago.
I'm with you on this one PMK.
If I was the victim of identity theft (prevalent nowadays) I would be very, very indignant. If I (or any member of my family), was the victim of fraudulent scammers, then I would be very irate. As it happens, I do feel defrauded by this "Mayhemmer of the Year".
Fraudulence is unforgiveable, because it is a
deliberate act to deceive. This person set out to deliberately deceive. It also begs the question, whose (female) image did he use in his photographs. Hopefully the subject was acquiescent in their use. If not, the law was broken.
I feel that Admin should look extremely carefully into reintroducing a self confessed fraudster back to the forum, which is generally contributed to by good, honest members with a good, honest story to tell.
If one cannot post the truth through one's correct persona, then don't bother posting at all.
Do not encourage liars and cheats.
